Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Everybody wants to go to heaven
This song has been running through my head, ever since I first saw the thread title - but I couldn't figure out the name of the group that was singing in my head. I looked it up on Amazon today - it's on the "Joy Across the Land" album from the Limeliters. It's also on the album called "I Know Who Holds Tomorrow" by Alison Krauss and the Cox Family, but apparently their recording doesn't have the ability to imprint itself on my memory. I also have "It's a Small World" and many beer commercial jingles imprinted there, so an inability to imprint may not be a bad thing. Looks like the song was a standard for Loretta Lynn, too.
The Limeliters CD is good, though - 23 cuts from 1976-76 reunion tours with Glenn Yarbrough.
